PAPER CRAFT

PAPER CRAFT Assembly Instructions

Thank you for downloading the "VMAX" paper craft model. By simply following this manual while referring to the names and numbers shown on the parts sheets, you can assemble an authentic-looking replica of the VMAX.

Assembly instructions: Fifteen A4-sized sheets. Paper craft: Sixteen A4-sized sheets with 174 parts in all

These instructions apply only to the "VMAX". Other paper craft model instructions can be downloaded separately. The parts are easier to work with when printed on strong, thick paper.

Note

Basic working method and markings

TO BEGIN Tools and materials needed

Solid lines

-Ruler -Scissors - Blade cutter or "Exacto-knife" - Awl or other pointed tool (for making a folding crease) - Felt pen - Pin set - Glue - Hand towel ( for cleaning your fingers) - Dictionary or other heavy book ( to press the papers flat)

Fold along these lines. The printed surface should be on the outside of the folded shape.

Broken lines

Item of Caution *Take care when using sharp or pointed objects or when using bladed cutting tools. Place a heavy sheet of paper under the paper you want to cut. *Use glue and other adhesives only in well-ventilated areas. *When printing, use a slightly reduced font size as there are many differences in dimensions depending on the type of printer used.

Fold along these lines. The printed surface should be on the inside of the folded shape.

Dotted line Cut along these lines

HOW TO ASSEMBLE Do not fold or cut the parts marked .

*Follow the working method and markings carefully. *Cut carefully along the outter line with a cutting blade, Exacto-knife or scissors.

One - point Advice

Cut out parts marked with an asterisk (*).

*Cut carefully with a cutting blade, Exacto-knife or scissors. *For folding parts, first use an awl or other pointed tool to make a light crease along the dotted or solid line. This will make the folds straight. Avoid making strong creases, as this will cause the paper to tear.

Red dots are the reference positions for gluing surfaces.

*As an adhesive, white, wood glue is recommended. Avoid over application as this will cause the paper to wrinkle. *Before beginning assembly, test adhesive amounts on extra paper. *Occasionally, white spots will be apparent on folds and cuts. Use a marker or pencil to fill-in these spots. It is recommended that this be done after each stage of assembly because coloring becomes more difficult once parts are assembled.
